Wrong. He'll make more selling to the public via the IPO vs what he would've made selling to google. Google is a more diligent purchaser than Joe six-pack and his brokerage account.
PCI and SAS70 audits are a joke. PCI "tests" are self-administered (and the "scans" are usually run by some firm charging top dollar to run open source vulnerability scanners against an IP or two), and merchant account providers simply ask if you completed and fulfill the requirements. SAS70? A get-rich-quick scheme from financial/accounting firms who perform the audit. Note they aren't technical consulting firms, but accounting firms. *insert troll face/problem? here*
Use SSL. Ensure your site doesn't have any SQL injection vulnerabilities. Encrypt credit card numbers (if you need to store them; preferably you don't). Only allow ports 80/443 from the world, and only admin ports from known IP addresses. Use semi-complicated passwords. Ecommerce doesn't require rocket science or expensive audits.
The government should own the infrastructure, and a private company should run it, with a clause that the private company has to turn the keys over at anytime if they feel to meet their performance targets.
And petroleum-intense farming is a luxury of an era gone by. What happens when it's simply not affordable to derive fertilizers from petroleum due to the cost? Organic farming.
Rocks only goes so far though. If your cluster is small, it works like a champ. You want any heavy level of customization and it quickly becomes unwieldy. Once you go above 1000 nodes, want to have your nodes on public network addresses instead of an RFC1878 block, etc, you might as well put TFTP/Kickstart/etc together yourself.
You are welcome to your opinion sir or mam. I find myself more efficient with a Mac, and apparently quite a few people feel the same way. You can curse all you want, but sales are sales.
Probably true. I've had to use Dell support for everything from Home Business up to Enterprise (not tape or storage though), and was *highly* disappointed. We've just begun the conversion over to Apple products in our office (everyone gets either a Macbook Pro, a Mini, or an Air), and as someone who has used Windows/Linux for the last 11 years, I think it's a great move.

Depends on your company and sector. If you've got tech-savvy executives, you might deploy VMware. You might also deploy Openstack (developed by Rackspace, Dell, and NASA for their Nebula cloud computing initiative) or Xen (that little hypervisor that drives Amazon's AWS EC2 instances).
Slashdot Mirror
That was somewhat my point.
Ok. Three reasons =)
You're either a black hat for two reasons: a) financial gain or b) publicity. You keep your mouth shut if you're in scenario A. B? Not so much.
Competent black hats *who take the proper precautions* brag publicly. Insert pic of "Good luck! I'm behind 7 proxies!" dude here.
On another note, does Amazon keep any sort of network/VM logging from someone who spun up/used/spun down a virtual machine with a prepaid visa card?

Was Sony's PSN infrastructure PCI or SAS70 compliant? Is it going to cost them any less if they are?

Only a fool treats revenue as the sole indicator of success. How much revenue does Wikipedia bring in?
feel = fail. Too early in the morning when I banging out that comment (no pun intended).

Dude, it's not an organization, it's an idea. Hell, *I* could be part of Anonymous for a day. Anyone can be, and then the next moment, be done.
Anonymous and Al Queda are structured vary similarly. I leave it up to each person to decide the morals of each group.

And you don't call Dell to get parts replaced? That = support.
Have you ever compared the support from Apple you receive vs that from Dell? *shivers*
"Swipe" = Used under proper license ;) Although, I argue that the BSD license doesn't even require attribution for use in distributed binaries.
After the whole BSD TCP/IP stack swipe, us Mac/Linux guys get some wiggle room ;)
Auto-photobomb detection? Brilliant!

Can you describe one of these magical hardware configurations where a Windows VM host can run, but Linux can't?
